Subject: [PATCH] Test framework: prettyprint the failed command.
Message-ID: <7vek9q6zoh.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7vek9q6zoh.fsf%40assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net

```
The output from a failure case had the test description message
and the first line of the actual test script concatenated on the
same line, which was ugly.  Correct the output routine a bit to
make it more readable.
